World of FootballAll non Palace football talk - includes latest scores on Internationals and matches that affect palace.

At last something to kill the golden goose that is football. VAR. Let's have everything reviewed. Matches lasting 2 hours. Ad breaks in tv games to increase revenue. All of this is making referees even more silly than they already are. Something not right in footballers making that cricket review signal.

Quite fun really in a pointless game. As far as Palace are concerned.

BT Sport saying we have 50k odd people here who don't know what is happening although people watching TV do.

Looking at the ref who has his finger to his earpiece standing there like a spare dick might be a clue that he is waiting for the VAR to spring into operation.

It's a trial - did people expect VAR and its use to be perfect straight away?

Well if it's a trial, let a club adversely affected by a rival benefiting at their expense challenging the outcome in a Court of law. Football should be an even contest. Had it not been for VAR WBA's disallowed goal would have stood. This might have profound implications in a league match.

VAR will be good if it sees referees undermined completely and give up the job.

Why bother with any official. Just use VAR and the PA system. VAR can be a robot too.

Yeah, a robot programmed to favour the high-ranked teams, after all, it's predictability we need over everything, isn't it ?

It would help if VAR could only be called in by the team captains (as in cricket/ tennis). Two 'false' calls and they would have no more appeals. That would leave the referee's initial decision only questioned if one of the teams thinks they have a genuine case.
